The LG C1 OLED is gorgeous. I and others in this thread rave about it. It comes in sizes 48-83 inches. 65 and 77 inch appear to be the most common models.
Lots of people will tell you to buy the LG - they are definitely awesome. Just a counterpoint:
My one nitpick is the TV is so short a LG branded soundbar blocks part of the screen, like c’mon guys, talk to the people designing soundbars and make your signature TV, probably the signature product your company makes now, 10mm taller so people will feel better dropping $800 on a another LG product. (I have a SP9YA, and have a riser for the TV because the 5mm of picture I was missing bugged me.)
I love my 65" C9, but I still enjoy movies on my 50" Kuro. About to sit down and watch one now
I'm going to cry when that thing dies. That was my first big purchase after my wife and I bought our first house. Took a day off work during tax and drove two hours to pick it up. Box was took big for the car, so we took it out and it fit into the car standing up. I literally held onto it, keeping it upright the entire way home
Congrats! I’m still thrilled with the 65”. For whatever it’s worth: the 77 isn’t as big as you think it is. If you think it might fit and not be comically large, you’ll be happy with it. In retrospect, I could have definitely made the 77 work in my space.
I have a 50" LG TV with that OS and don't have any issues. It updates often enough, and no issues with speed. The problems I tend to have are with Hulu Live and my internet, so the two items that work with the TV, but not the TV itself.
Not sure how the settings are saved but interesting idea. I'll look into it but I would assume since its a TV setting the input wouldn't matter (?). I'm just surprised that more people don't see this as a need and manufacturers haven't built in a way to more easily toggle these settings, or at least make them first level settings like the color presets.
Hey there, Vizio is a great bet in that range for either the V or M series depending on deals, timing, and size. I have a 65 (v) and 75 (m) inch on those and have been quite content for the price point. The native Vizio interface has also been great and they run updates on regular basis when needed. Regularly use AppleTV, Peacock, Disney, etc.
Superbowl party at Skrub's. Hope you've got the cable box that supports 4k and HDR.
Are there any cable systems/boxes that do 4k and HDR? I'm lucky if I get 1080i on my Charter system (I think their World box has a few channels that do 1080p but that's all I know of).
Ha! I am having a family Super Bowl party. Any Filipino lineage? I may be able to get you in on a waiver.
FiOS latest cable box does do it. There's very little content (almost entirely sports), but there are 3 channels dedicated to it where if something is broadcast in 4K it will be simulcast on one of these channels for the duration of it's program. If I tune to something on an HD channel, I will get a little pop up that says "This is also available in 4k. Press enter to switch." I would see it frequently (about 1/2 the time) for the prime college football games of the week. I would see it rarely (once random game every other week) for the NFL.
The MLB All Star game, the ALDS, the ALCS, and the World Series were broadcast in 4K HDR-HLG last year. It was an upscale of 1080p. I recorded them with my HDHomeRun Prime on FIOS. HDR-HLG looked great. The games were also available in 4K HDR-HLG through the FOX App 0on my Roku if you don't have a cable box that supports it.
As far as I can tell, we only get the following events in 4K (or upconverted 1080p HDR)
This is great. Definitely a layer more analysis than I've done.
I haven't done this yet, because I just discovered my receiver doesn't do HDCP 2.2 and so a lot of the sources (presumably this one too) won't output 4K without HDCP 2.2, even though it is supposed to be a 4K passthrough receiver. (It's a ~6yr old Denon.)
Holy crap, I love this thing!
Every time I put on Netflix, I'm still amazed at the black levels of the logo screen.
So, I got them to upgrade this box for free, and interestingly the Xfinity XG1v4 (4K set top box) doesn't seem to care about HDCP 2.2 - but I haven't found any natively broadcast 4K content to really test. The box is outputting/upscaling to 4K always though, and my receiver is passing it through to the TV.
One of the reasons Plasma and now OLED's are considered to show better picture is because of the contrast and how "black" blacks are when on the screen. If you look at your TV when it's off, and then were to look at it when it's on, but projecting a black image that gives you a sense (and the Netflix app with a dark background is a great example of this). Traditional LCDs because of their backlighting could never produced great deep blacks, and will show more greyish picture.
Bad black levels also cause a ton of darker scenes on LCD's to appear washed out our unclear.
